Lottery System RegistrationYou spoke and we listened! To eliminate the stress of having to “race” to a computer as soon as registration officially opens to secure a spot on a team, we are now offering a “lottery” system as an alternative to our “first come, first serve” registration process. For our sites that fill very quickly the lottery system will help to ensure a fair opportunity to participate in the program for all interested girls by giving a two week time frame to complete the registration process.
There are a few schools that will be using the Lottery System for registration this fall. If your school is using the Lottery System, it will say “Lottery System Registration” next to your school’s name on our spring location page as well as on the actual registration form. For these schools, registration will be open for one week starting Feb. 2nd at 8:00 pm. What this means is that as many people who want to register for the team can during this two week period (as long as the participant attends this host school). Registration will close for these schools on Feb. 9th at 11:00 pm; on Feb. 10th our system will randomly choose the participants to fill the available spots for that team. Once the team participants are selected, those participants will get an automated email stating so with a follow up email from the GOTR coach. Girls who are not placed on the initial team will receive an email from GOTR letting you know and asking if you’d like to be placed on the waiting list. Girls who do not attend the host school, but would like to participate in GOTR there, may register if space allows after the lottery has been run. Please email jwest@gotrlancaster.org with questions. If space is still available after the lottery is run, registration will open again to fill the remaining spots.

* If your school does not say “Lottery System Registration”, than your school’s team will be “first come, first serve” as it has always been in the past.

Registration for girls who do not attend the host school will begin Feb. 14th.

All girls must be able to commit to BOTH practice days and times in order to participate.Please make sure this is possible BEFORE registering. Thank you!

Past sites are not automatically guaranteed to have a spring team. If your school had a team in the past and they are not listed, that means we do not have any coaches for the spring at that school. If you would like to coach at a school that isn’t listed as having a team yet, please contact Jennifer West for more information.

Registration is always on a first come – first serve basis.
Participants have until the 4th practice to withdraw from GOTR and still receive a refund. After that refunds are not available.
